Air is polluted, water is polluted… Fish have gone away; migratory birds
are endangered; our dogs and cats are enslaved.

We have forgotten to produce… System has identified all of us as
“consumers”, and while we are consuming lavishly, garbage mountains are
encircling us mischievously.

And we are destroying the future of our children.

Hasn’t time come to say a “stop” thereto?

Come on. Let’s think over not a moment too soon. Where did we made a
mistake? And what should we do from now on?

And let’s lend an ear to the Walnut Tree…

We are Naranjayrojo, an art collective from Spain interested in mail art projects. Recently we have participated in an exhibition with our project “Postalvella”, which is a post service we created for the visitors and population of Ciutat Vella, the oldest part of Valencia City (Spain).

People wrote postcards telling stories about experiences they have lived in that district. We built 15 handmade mailboxes and we put them in different establishments of the city. At the end, we collected almost 160 stories and all of them were shown in Ciutat Vella Oberta Festival this year. For us, the project was a way to recuperate an old communication style that is almost forgotten nowadays and, thanks to the people participation, we created a memory of experiencies and stories lived in the oldest part of the city.

ADD & PASS is the First projectassociated withTILT Laboratory, in partnershipwith the COMA collective.

TILT
Laboratory aims with this project distributes a certain number of "Add &
Pass" (33 that’s what we have in mind…) with a specific theme in which each participant can only use one “page” of
it. Upon receipt all ADD & PASS or part of them (because we must always
count with the factor "lost" when speaking about the postal service)
will be done an exhibition in the future installations of TILT Lab in Portugal.

These are some of the ongoing ADD & PASS, with interventions already
made by mail artists all over the world.Each Add has 6 pages to 6
participants. These
have aclassic format, but there will beothers whohavean
unconventional form.
